Paper Heart Closer To You Lyrics

From your silence I guess you've drawn a line through my name
Temporary blindness has prevented me from doing the same
My friends worry about me I guess I haven't gotten my fill
Maybe someday I'll erase you I don't know if I can or will.

What we had could've been unique
But your pride put that to sleep
Next time I won't get that deep
With someone who's mind is not complete.

This is no way for me to get closer to you
When you've all but said that we are through
This is no way for me to get closer to you
Don't confuse my asking with begging you
This is no way
This is no way.

From your hesitation I guess your life has no need for a change
Temporary highness fades and afterwards all you have is the shame
My friends try and warn me even though I know its wrong
My mind still tells me there's a reason to keep hanging on.

What we had could've been unique
But your pride put that to sleep
Next time I won't get that deep
With someone who's mind is not complete

This is no way for me to get closer to you
When you've all but said that we are through
This is no way for me to get closer to you
Don't confuse my asking with begging you
This is no way
This is no way.

This is no way for me to get closer to you
When you've all but said that we are through
This is no way for me to get closer to you
Don't confuse my asking with begging you
This is no way
This is no way.

Before you start comparing me to your new boyfriend
Remember we never really had a chance to begin
So don't say he does all the things I'd do if I were there
Cause you truly don't know how much of me I'd share.

What we had could've been unique
But your pride put that to sleep
Next time I won't get that deep
With someone who's mind is not complete

This is no way for me to get closer to you
When you've all but said that we are through
This is no way for me to get closer to you
Don't confuse my asking with begging you
This is no way
This is no way.
